    摘要: An image projection system has a wire grid polarizing beam splitter which functions as both the polarizer and the analyzer in the system. A light source produces a source light beam directed at the beam splitter which reflects one polarization and transmits the other. A liquid crystal array is disposed in either the reflected or transmitted beam. The array modulates the polarization of the beam, encoding image information thereon, and directs the modulated beam back to the beam splitter. The beam splitter again reflects one polarization and transmits the other so that the encoded image is either reflected or transmitted to a screen. The wire grid polarizing beam splitter is capable of being oriented at various incident angles with respect to the source light beam and modulated beam, and accepts relatively divergent light.

    摘要: A wire grid polarizing beam splitter has a generally parallel arrangement of thin, elongated elements which interact with electromagnetic waves of a source light beam to generally transmit or pass light of one polarization, and reflect light of the other polarization. The arrangement of elements has a throughput greater than approximately 50%, and an extinction greater than approximately 100. In addition, the arrangement of elements has a period less than approximately 0.21 &mgr;m, and a width to period ratio of between approximately 0.25 to 0.76. The elements have a thickness of between approximately 0.05 to 0.5 &mgr;m.

    摘要: An optical polarization beam combiner or separator device includes a first optical beam carrier for carrying a first polarized beam and a second optical beam carrier for carrying a second polarized beam whose polarization is orthogonal to the polarization of the first polarized beam. First and second collimating/focusing lenses are positioned between the first and second optical carriers. A third optical beam carrier for carrying a non-polarized beam positioned on the same side of the two collimating/focusing lenses as the first optical beam carrier. An inorganic, dielectric grid polarizer is disposed between the first and second collimating/focusing lenses, and includes a stack of film layers disposed over a substrate. Adjacent film layers have different refractive indices. At least one of the film layers is discontinuous to form a form birefringent layer with an array of parallel ribs with a pitch of less than 400 nm, and greater than 200 nm.

    摘要: A light recycling system includes a light source capable of producing a visible light beam. An inorganic, dielectric grid polarizing beam splitter is disposable in the light beam to separate the light beam into two light beams of orthogonal polarization orientation including a transmitted beam and a reflected beam. The grid polarizer includes a stack of film layers disposed over the substrate. Each film layer is formed of a material that is both inorganic and dielectric. Adjacent film layers have different refractive indices. At least one of the film layers is discontinuous to form a form birefringent layer with an array of parallel ribs with a period less than approximately 260 nm. Light reorientation means is disposable in the transmitted or reflected beam for changing the polarization orientation of the transmitted or reflected beam.

    摘要: A projection display or modulation optical system includes a spatial light modulator and an inorganic, dielectric grid polarizer. The spatial light modulator selectively encodes image information on a polarized incident light beam and the inorganic, dielectric grid polarizing beam splitter separates the image information from the beam and produces a polarized image bearing light beam. The grid polarizer includes a stack of film layers disposed over a substrate; each film layer being formed of a material that is both inorganic and dielectric; adjacent film layers having different refractive indices; and at least one of the film layers being discontinuous to form a form birefringent layer with an array of parallel ribs with a period less than approximately 260 nm.
